Excellent quality, great price
I really didn't want to invest in tall boots, so glad I didn't. These are excellent quality, though I ended up a size smaller than the printable Ariat size chart indicates so I had to exchange for smaller size. Hugs your ankle for perfect support but still gives enough room in the heel as you want with a riding boot. I absolutely recommend these for anyone and I'm using with the Ariat half-chaps. They're very easy to keep clean- I use chemical-free baby wipes when I leave the barn to remove all dust.

Bought these a little more than 2 years ago. Wore them for maybe 2 months. Brought them out today to clean up and wear.. while applying leather polish, the leather (?? Over fabric) coating on the tongue of one boot literally crumbled and peeled off. Does not affect functionality of boot... can't even say it is cosmetic as you cannot see it when zipped. It was just a bit disappointing and surprising... I'd expected a little better quality. The right side has a little spot that appear as though the same thing will happen... so I will not be cleaning up further.

Durable!
These were replacement boots, had the waterproof before. Not sure why these don’t have the tab in the back like my other ones but they get the job done.

Good for the price
I go through several pairs of paddocks boots a year and I always buy Ariats. They are the most comfortable for long days teaching or riding. I’ve bought the more expensive version of this boot and they lasted about a year. These are comfortable, especially with the Ariat inserts. We will see how they hold up!

Ariat is great as always.
Between Ariat and Smartpak, couldn't ask for a better combo!

Arias scout
I have yet to ride in these, but they fit well. I know others have complained of the ankle being tight, but walking around my house in them, I didn't notice that. The leather looks a bit cheap and feels less "leathery" than my other ariats, but as I haven't used them yet, I can't say how they'll hold up. The price was certainly good though

Unfortunate
I bought these probably a year ago or almost a year ago, I am at the barn every single day cleaning out stalls or riding. Unfortunately the stitching in one of the boots was poor. The main problem I have with these boots is the quality of the sole, it is absolute garbage. In just a couple months of wearing these boots the sole was completely rubbed down to nothing. I'm young and have arthritis and tendinitis in my feet...I was hoping these boots would make it easier, however, they make my feet hurt really bad by the end of the day. I love ariat, but this is not a good boot. They fit perfectly, the zipper is nice and heavy duty, they stretch to your needs, unfortunately they fall short on a few important factors. I'm a college student on a budget, but I'll be looking at the pricier ariat boots.

Very comfortable
I'm an adult novice rider... been using hiking boots till now when I take classes. So far the scouts have been a big improvement. Very comfortable even without my custom orthotics. And they've made it easier to keep my heels low. Easy to put on and pair with the half chaps. I didn't have a problem with sizing chart... fit was fine as received.

Very comfortable!
Had to replace my old faithful paddock boots after the sole tore off. Looked for a reasonable boot at a price I could afford, found the Scout Boots. Great for schooling!

I go to a camp for two weeks with tons of riding and barn work, and these boots were comfortable and lasted through the whole thing! Great buy

Needed to break in for a few days as expected, but great afterwards! Very comfortable, and I am on my feet managing a barn for 8+ hours a day. Great value.

Nice boot for the money
The fit was a tad large but good for my high instep foot. I wish the ankle part was a little wider as it is very snug on my leg, even with the elastic inserts. It is comfortable and love the front zipper option.

I bought this style of boot when my old Heritage IV zip-ups were finally too thrashed to continue. I figured I'd give these a shot since they were so much less and look and feel nearly identical. At this point, I've had them for nearly a year and they still look brand new! They clean up well, are super comfy, and seem to be just as durable as every other pair of Ariat boots I've owned. Looking forward to years of good use out of these!

Quickly became my everyday boot...
I got my Ariat Scout paddock boots around the holidays, so I have had them about two months now. The initial "stiff" break-in period was about a week... but after that they fit like a glove. I literally have worn them everyday since then and they are holding up great at the office and around the barn. I especially love the quick zip on/off when I am in a hurry. The only reason I gave them four (4) stars is because I feel they run a half-size too big. I usually wear a size 8 so I bought a size 8, but I think a 7.5 would fit better. The half-size too big was fine with thick winter socks, but with "normal" socks they are a bit loose. Other than that, I am very happy with them. : )

There okay
I bought these about a month ago, the day they arrived I started wearing them. The sizing it about right I normally wear a 10 and went down half a size and got a 9.5 and they fit fine just like all my ariats. Just when I thought they were being broken in I was wrong I came home with a huge blister on the back of my heel, they seem very hard to break in and stiff, and the ankle width seems very narrow I have come home with rings around where the top of the boot has dug into skin. I have always loved all my ariats from my terrains to even cowboy boots, I love the comfort soles and the quality seems to be good, but I just don't find that these are as comfortable as I would have liked, I just feel my tall boots were easier to break in then these paddock boots.

Good quality at a reasonable price
I bought these boots, because the more expensive waterproof version didn't stay waterproof for very long and I was tired of shelling out that much money for paddock boots. So far, these boots have held up well. I try to only wear them for riding and light barn work - no manure or heavy soaking in water. They look as nice as the more expensive boots.

These boots were purchased for my daughter. She was replacing them with the exact make as she had before only bigger (major growth spurt!). Can't be too bad if she wants the exact thing as before...Her previous ones held up well after horses stepping on them and water, muck, you name it, these have been through everything and I expect this pair will be put through as rough treatment as the first! She wears a size between 7 and 8 shoes (depending on style and make)...so I ordered the 8 (I figured when in doubt go bigger). They were a bit too big so after a pleasant conversation with a sales rep on the phone, I put an order in for a half size down and received the new ones in a very timely matter. If the boot fits...well, she's wearing them!

Loose strings
I bought a pair, wore them out to the barn the day after they arrived for a typical day at the barn. By the time I got home a string was coming out of the sole. Smartpak exchanged them without an issue for a new pair, and again wore them out to the barn and after 6 hours of barn work, a string was coming out of the sole.

Does the job for a lesser price
I have had almost every kind of the Ariat paddock boots, and these boots are fine. Not as comfortable as most of their other boots. After 2 weeks of hard use(2-4 horses ridden 7 days a week and at least 5 miles of hilly coastal ground) they still haven't broken in very well. Not super flexible. Don't look or keep as nice as the more expensive ariat boots. BUT, they do the job. If you are on a budget, they are great. If you aren't worried about aesthetics, they are great. If you are physically durable and don't care about them breaking in quick, they are great. I might not buy them again, but the price is fair for the quality you get.

So happy I bought these!
I have extremely sensitive feet so I was worried about breaking these in, but from the first wear I've had no issues. They are so comfortable and look really sleek! Very happy that I purchased these.

comfortable & quick break in
I got these boots about a month ago and love them! They are comfortable and good quality boots that have stood up wonderfully to regular barn work. They broke in quickly and have held up very well.
